Radar (acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging) uses radio waves to detect objects in the environment. It allows determining the distance (known as range), angular position (bearing), and velocity.

Pretty much every modern car has some driver assistance feature, such as lane departure and blind-spot warnings, or adaptive cruise control. They’re all pretty cool, and they all depend on the car ...

Radar waveforms are classified into three categories based on the bandwidth of operation. With multiple waveforms available for use, such as FMCW and pulse-modulated, it’s imperative to decide on the ...

To say that the RTL-SDR project revolutionized hacker’s capabilities in the RF spectrum would be something of an understatement. It used to be that the bar, in terms of both knowledge and hardware, ...

Imec has come up with a novel digitally calibrated charge-pump (CP) phase-locked loop (PLL) that can generate high-quality frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signals for mmWave radars at low ...

A problem faced by designers of phased array radar systems is the tradeoff of granularity or beam width and system cost, size, weight and power (SWAP). By increasing the number of elements in an array ...

Imec has built and tested a proof-of-concept photonics-enabled code-division multiplexing (CDM) frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) 144GHz distributed radar system that ensures coherent chirps ...

A radar can be used to locate a buried object. Therefor the radar should operate at low frequencies to be able to penetrate the medium the object is buried in and it should have a high spatial ...
